Chapter 118: Company Meeting! Zhao Zong's Risky Maneuver

The Company is also holding an emergency meeting on this side.

Naturally, it is because of that slap from Lin Xuan.

"This matter cannot be condoned, even if... even if the other party is..." Chairman Bi Youlong stood up, speaking with a serious expression.

But he got stuck before he could finish a single sentence.

"Even if what?"

Zhao Zong sat in the main seat, looking at Bi Youlong with a deep gaze.

"Even if the other party has the Baiyun Guan behind them, even if the other party is an Inner Alchemy True Person, the Company cannot condone this matter!"

Bi Youlong, having been asked, finished his sentence and sat down directly, with nothing further to add.

The other Chairmen looked at Bi Youlong.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

What do you mean by "even if"?

Even if it were just one of those, the Company would have to weigh it carefully.

Not to mention that the events of four years ago are still vivid in their minds.

Given Lin Xuan's age and strength, the Baiyun Guan, or rather the entire body, or even the Dao Sect side, are all keeping a close watch.

Both the Buddha Sect and the Dao Sect are very low-key.

But both sects are actually connected to more than half of the Outsider world.

This is what truly means "pulling one hair affects the whole body."

"How is the situation with Wang Ai?"

Seeing Bi Youlong sit down after speaking, Zhao Zong shook his head slightly and turned to ask.

"Zhao Zong, his life was saved, but he hasn't woken up yet."

The secretary on the side heard this and quickly made contact, then spoke up.

"In other words, the person isn't dead!"

As Zhao Zong said this, he turned to look at the circle of Chairmen.

"There is a detail about the incident four years ago; many of you here know about it. No one has let it slip, have they?"

When Zhao Zong said this, his expression was very serious.

The group of Chairmen shook their heads one after another.

How could such a thing be spoken of casually?

"Regarding Lin Xuan, the Company has also conducted an analysis. Under normal circumstances, he rarely takes the initiative to act, or rather, this person is actually very low-key."

Zhao Zong did not say anything else, but instead spoke about the Company's analysis of Lin Xuan.

After all, to maintain the stability of the Outsider world, if such a powerful person appears, one naturally has to analyze them from all aspects.

"Let me put it this way: he actually has a quite good personality!"

Seeing the group of Chairmen sitting in silence, Zhao Zong said again.

Once these words were out, everyone looked at Zhao Zong with strange expressions.

"I know what you want to say, but this is the fact. The Company has gone through many analyses and even feels that his personality is better than most Outsiders in the Outsider world—no, better than most people in this world.

At the Lu Family birthday banquet, he treated others very gently; it was only because Wang Bing took the initiative to challenge him that the subsequent series of events were triggered."

Zhao Zong said again.

"That's true!"

A Chairman spoke up, suddenly realizing.

Seeing everyone else look over, this Chairman coughed lightly and sat up straight.

"Actually, it's very simple. Daoist cultivation originally emphasizes the cultivation of the state of mind. As the only True Person in this era to have cultivated Inner Alchemy, his state of mind cultivation must certainly not be weak.

Otherwise, I don't think it would be possible to cultivate to such a high realm."

The crowd realized, and then all nodded in agreement.

It is indeed that kind of logic.

If it were other sects, it might not be certain, but the Dao Sect is indeed like this.

Zhao Zong also nodded, but he thought of Lao Tianshi.

Zhao Zong could be considered to have known the Tianshi quite early on and knew what the Tianshi was like back then.

But even the Tianshi of that time, if you didn't provoke him, actually treated people and handled affairs quite well, not to mention now.

"Cough, cough, Zhao Zong, do you mean that what the Wang Family did in secret four years ago was discovered by him?"

Bi Youlong's expression was not as it was just a moment ago.

"It should be because of this. Actually, there was no intersection between them. Four years ago at the Lu Family birthday banquet, Wang Ai and Wang Bing suffered a great loss because of Lin Xuan's innate ability. I reckon they held a grudge, which is why they did such a thing.

After the Baiyun Guan incident, I warned Wang Ai. I originally thought this matter would end there, but now it seems the matter wasn't kept hidden."

Zhao Zong sighed.

"But Zhao Zong, we can't just do nothing. After all, the Ten Elders were chosen to deter the Outsider world, and now this kind of thing has happened."

Someone frowned and spoke, clearly feeling that the matter was very difficult to handle.

"I understand, of course. So this time, let's see if Wang Ai is still qualified to serve as one of the Ten Elders!"

Zhao Zong said.

Once these words were out, everyone's expressions changed.

What does this mean?

"Zhao Zong, although Wang Ai did the wrong thing this time, he has already been beaten like this, so isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to do this?"

Someone hesitated.

Isn't this just getting rid of the donkey the moment it finishes grinding the mill?

"To be frank, even if Wang Ai is fine this time, it is unlikely that the Wang Family can continue to serve as one of the Ten Elders; so many people saw what happened on Longhu Mountain this time.

Don't forget, our responsibility is to maintain stability between the Outsider world and ordinary people; this is our ultimate goal."

Zhao Zong spoke up to remind them.

"Zhao Zong, you aren't planning to...?"

Once Zhao Zong said this, the other directors nodded; as the Company's ultimate guiding policy, it naturally could not be deviated from, but Bi Youlong seemed to have sensed Zhao Zong's meaning and asked tentatively.

"We wanted to recruit him into the Company back then, but we didn't expect such a major incident to occur, and given that his strength is too great now, the Company cannot force the issue.

And this incident can serve as an opportunity; you should remember that when the Ten Elders were chosen back then, Baiyun Guan and Wudang both refused.

To be frank, I know they didn't want to get involved in these troublesome matters."

"Regarding Zhao Zong's words, they simply look down on it."

A director said with a bitter smile.

The other directors' mouths twitched, and they did not speak.

"Regardless of what it is, remaining detached isn't a solution; originally, both sects were content with their cultivation, and the Company was actually quite at ease.

But now, Baiyun Guan has produced such a little ancestor.

I will be frank, this person is an existence like a little ancestor in Baiyun Guan, or rather in Quanzhen; one could tell from the incident Baiyun Guan stirred up four years ago."

Zhao Zong's words made everyone think of the time four years ago when Baiyun Guan summoned the Dao Sect, which truly broke everyone in the Company out in a cold sweat.

"Therefore, by taking advantage of this opportunity, it might actually be possible."

Zhao Zong finished his sentence and stopped speaking, while the others looked at each other in dismay.

Isn't it just asking Lin Xuan or someone from Baiyun Guan to serve as one of the Ten Elders?

"It might actually be feasible; although Wang Ai is in the wrong this time, the status of the Ten Elders is not fake, and since he rashly attacked on Longhu Mountain, it is a suitable opportunity."

Zhao Zong nodded upon hearing this.

After all, for forces like Baiyun Guan and Wudang, the Company has to discuss things with them no matter what they do.

Because they have to discuss it; if the other party doesn't listen, the Company actually has no way to deal with it.

If you only try to suppress or weaken them, then look and see who dares to go, who is willing to go?

Use power that exceeds the Outsider world?

Then the blame from those above will fall on the Company when the time comes.

This is a certainty.

And thinking about it from the other side, if this really succeeds, it will be a good thing for both the Company and the Outsider world.

If the two great leaders of the Dao Sect, Baiyun Guan and Longhu Mountain, are both among the Ten Elders, then the Outsider world will naturally be more stable.

After all, the deterrent power of Baiyun Guan is far greater than that of the Wang Family.

The two sides are simply not on the same scale.
